How do you lose weight safe and easy in a short amount of time?

Question:

Answers:
Do not make a high goal, first of all. It's a health risk to lose more than 3 pounds a week. Besides, that much in a week would probably be water weight, which comes right back.

Try taking a walk for 30 minutes a day, adding 10 minutes each week. Once you get up to an hour long walk, start biking or running for 20 minutes a day, adding on minutes once again. By the time you are biking for an hour a day, just keep at it and you'll keep losing.

Remember to EAT YOUR BREAKFAST. Eating Breakfast will reduce your hunger and increase your energy throughtout the day. You should have a large breakfast, smaller lunch, and light dinner. Or you can have multiple small meals throughout the day. Avoid snacking at night, and when you really want junk food, eat a half serving and substitute the other half with a fruit or veggie. Make sure you drink water too, it's helpful in losing weight faster. Be sure to lay off soda.it's high in cals.

That's how I lost 80 pounds of fat and gained 20 pounds of muscle, myself. It has been really easy to mantain my weight now, too.

This isn't the fastest thing out there (it has you lose 2 or 3 pounds a week), but it is VERY safe this way.

Best of luck!

I used something called THINS. It's a natural appetite suppresant (no stimulants, etc.) I lost about 7 pounds a week. Not the healthiest approach, I know, but I was impatient and wanted to see quick results. You can get it from PreventionProof.com. While there is a plethora of products available for losing weight, I was particulary impressed with the fact that the research behind their products was very credible (Baylor College of Medicine, Georgetown University, American College of Cardiology, etc.) .and not from some doctor who is "on the payroll". ;-))
Good luck!

The surest way to lose weight is to calculate how much you have to eat in relation to how much energy you expend. The more you are active, the more calories you will burn or use up. If you eat fewer calories than you use, you will lose weight. If you eat more calories than you use, you will gain weight.
Start an exercise program. You will feel great, and will not need to think about food so much.
When you do eat, do not leave the table stuffed. It is just fine to still feel slightly hungry.
Try to focus on other things in life than on food.
Some tricks to make your body feel that you have eaten a lot when you really have not:
drink a lot of water
chew sugarless gum
eat slowly, and avoid sugar.
Avoid as many processed foods as possible, such as pastas and prepared foods
Eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as you can
Avoid high fat cheeses and meats
Eat soy products and low fat dairy products
Good luck. Losing weight does not have to be an ongoing affair, but choosing a healthy lifestyle is.

As a personal trainer and being a person that has lost over 80 pounds myself it is the proper balance of nutrition and exercise.
The best way to go is 1 to 2 pounds per week. This is a healthy rate and anything more will put your body into a starvation mode. Starvation mode is when your body goes into a type of shock if you will and puts most anything you consume into fat deposits. This therefore makes it also impossible to loose anything.

I lost 95 lbs in 8 months using a progam called Shapeworks. Here is where I found it: www.loseweightnow.com/tfward

Healthy weight loss tips

* Take one pound at a time

Don’t get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat.

Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight.

Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.

* Set Reachable Goals
For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself.

The same logic applies for losing weight.

* Stay off the scales
Don’t get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body.

If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress.

* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin
Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.

* Fat Free?
We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.

* Drink plenty of water
Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties.

* Reward yourself
Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage.

* Seek help if you need it
A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs.

* Watch your portions
With the advent of "supersize" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a "plate cleaner" even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.

* Eat your food slowly
Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.

Try a cleansing diet! I tried this and lost 10.5 pounds and 17 inches in 9 days. Then I continued it and lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks. This program works to remove the toxins in the body that are stored in the fat cells. You cannot get rid of the fat cells unless you get rid of the toxins. We get toxins from pesticides, preservatives, fast food additives, chemicals, pollution, smoke etc… This was my first experience with cleansing and it worked wonderful! You can order at 1-877-587-4647. It is not a cheap program, but it works and is worth every penny!
